When new actors join in
Apoorva Mukhija’s journey from “Rebel Kid” to Dharma Productions’ “Nadaaniyaan” has been quite interesting.
But right now, all the attention is on her honest thoughts about her co-star Khushi Kapoor.
Friendship behind the scenes
The “Nadaaniyaan” trio – Apoorva, Khushi and Ibrahim Ali Khan – haven’t just spent time on screen; they have formed a great friendship in real life too.
Apoorva told the Indian Express that they often hang out together even outside the shoot, giving us a glimpse of their real chemistry.
“One of the sweetest people”
Speaking about Khushi, Apoorva doesn’t hesitate to praise: “Khushi is one of the sweetest people I have met.”
But it wasn’t just Khushi’s personality that impressed her co-star – it was her determination to prove herself.
Wanting to be taken seriously
On set, Khushi would tell Apoorva, “I hope people start taking me seriously after this film.”
This vulnerability shows how much pressure star kids often feel to create an identity for themselves beyond their famous surname.
That “crazy work ethic”
What impressed Apoorva the most was Khushi’s commitment to her work.
“We would shoot for 14-16 hours, and she would still go to the gym; it’s admirable,” she revealed.
After such tiring days when most people would collapse in bed, Khushi would go to the gym – showing a level of dedication that is rare even in Bollywood.
Supporting “nepo-babies”
When “Nadaniyaan” was released, both Khushi and Ibrahim faced criticism.
Apoorva didn’t hesitate to address the issue, saying people can be “harsh” towards star kids, often overlooking their genuine talent and hard work.
Apoorva’s own journey
Before making her Dharma debut, Apoorva (known as “Rebel Kid”) was a panelist on Samay Raina’s “India’s Got Talent” and recently appeared in Amazon Prime’s “The Traitors”.
Despite showing the potential to win, she saw Urfi Javed take the trophy away.
From legal troubles that once forced her to vacate her Mumbai apartment, to sharing the screen with Bollywood royalty, Apoorva’s story has just begun – but she’s already showing that she’s not afraid to give credit where credit is due.
